By: David B. Larter, March 21, 2017
The Navy’s big guns are patrolling global hot spots, fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and facing down North Korea’s Kim Jong Un during an annual exercise that is inevitably increasing tensions with the rogue regime.
The carrier George H.W. Bush and her escorts safely transited the Red Sea and the Bab-el-Mandeb strait March 13 and are expected to head to the Northern Persian Gulf to launch strikes on Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, according to officials who spoke on background.
